Jeremy very reluctantly got up, and stumbled out over knees and legs and exclamations like: "There's Japan!" "No, it ain't; it's Chiney!" "You's a fine, hearty young woman!" and so on. He was dragged through the black curtain, down the stone steps, and into the street. "But it wasn't the end," he said. "It will be in one minute," said his uncle. "And I want us to get home first."
I'm thinking when God made the rocks black, and maybe white, it's black and white he meant them to be and no red. I wouldna say but what there's something no just canny about a cave with red sides to it higher than a man can stretch. Eh, but you've the chiney white feet, Miss Una. Mind now you dinna scrab them on the wee shells.
The' was a hull flower garden in the middle, an' a worked tablecloth; four five glasses of all colors an' sizes at ev'ry plate, an' a nosegay, an' five six diff'rent forks an' a lot o' knives, though fer that matter," remarked the speaker, "the' wa'n't but one knife in the lot that amounted to anythin', the rest on 'em wouldn't hold nothin'; an' the' was three four sort of chiney slates with what they call the you 'n me "
'I thought of that, ma'am, replies Bill, 'so I have written S for chiney on the one, and G for jam on the other. Bill's orthography was obviously original. So was the drive he took with a certain cheery guest of mine one Sabbath morning.
Some head, some system, take it from me. That Chiney boy, Oh Joy, is a wooz. He's housekeeper, or manager, of the whole shebang, or whatever you want to call his job and, say, it runs that smooth you can't hear it." "Forrest's the real wooz," Naismith nodded. "He's the brains that picks brains. He could run an army, a campaign, a government, or even a three-ring circus."
Few passes my door without a bite or a sup, specially at tea-time, Mr. Nor'cote, which is sociable time, as I always says. Come in and warm yourself and have a cup of tea. There is nothing as pleases my old woman so much as to get out her best tea-things for a minister; she 'as a great respect for ministers, has Mrs. Tozer, sir; and now she's got Phoebe to show off as well as the chiney.
Claude, it wasn't like that in our war; the soldiers didn't do nothin' to the women an' chillun. Many a time our house was full of Northern soldiers, an' they never so much as broke a piece of my mudder's chiney." "You'll have to tell me about it again sometime, Mahailey. I must have my dinner and get back to work.
They ain' nothin' but chiney, an' you know how chiney's the breakiest thing man ever made. That's why I say, 'Give me eggs for breakfast, Sally, and eggs I will have." The six hens did their duty nobly during the summer and autumn and a part of the winter, and Pap had his egg unfailingly; but in December the long cold spell came, and the six hens struck.
He's a simple home-spun man, that never was fit for good company think nothing of him, sir." "And do ye carry your flock bed, and your quilt, and your crock, and your bit of chiney? or do ye go in bare bones, as I may say?" inquired Christopher Coney. "I've sent on my luggage though it isn't much; for the voyage is long."
"My poor wife," says he, touched with pity; and holding forth his arms, she goes to them and lays her cheek against his breast, and there stands crying very silently with mingled thoughts now of the room she had prepared with such delight against his return, of her little table in the corner, with the chiney image atop, and other trifles with which she had dreamed to give him pleasure all lost!
